Warkworth opener Tom Jones will have plenty to sing about if he lifts the June award in the Sunday Sun/Connoisseur Cricketer of the Month competition.

Warkworth opener Tom Jones will have plenty to sing about if he lifts the June award in the Sunday Sun/Connoisseur Cricketer of the Month competition.

Tom hit an unbeaten 112 against Clara Vale last week to take his record to 382 runs in seven innings (five unbeaten) at a superb average of 191.

He faces competition at this early stage from Eppleton junior Scott Borthwick, who plays for the club's Under 13s and Under 15s.

Not out in five innings for the younger age group, Scott has also produced some impressive bowling figures. And for the Durham County Under 13 side, he has scored 103 not out, 64 and 58 while taking 5 for 20 and 3 for 15 with the ball.

Our winner will get &#xA3;50 worth of cricket gear from the superb range offered by competition sponsor Connoisseur (call John Pack on 0191 427 4508 for a catalogue). There will also be a Connoisseur T-shirt and cap, while CRK are offering cricket shoes worth &#xA3;60.

Nominations are open for our June award - please remember to include a daytime telephone number and send details of impressive performances to: Cricketer of the Month, Sports Desk, Sunday Sun, Groat Market, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE1 1ED.
